There are no references to "dice" or "cards" in the Bible.  The primary reference to gambling is in the "casting of lots" by the Roman soldiers to see who could take Jesus's clothing as some kind of trophy after the [[Crucifixion]].  Most modern English translations do not use the term "gambling" to describe that incident, however.
